Porsche Supercup Rules and Regulations

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Sun 14 Sep 2014 - 17:54

RULES AND DRIVING ETIQUETTE
The Porsche Supercup is a non-contact sport. But, some contact might be unexpected or unavoidable. If you feel that you have been wrecked on purpose, please insert a Steward's Inquiry about it and the Race Stewards will take a look at it. If we hear any reports on lag from a driver, please report it and we will tell the driver who is causing the lag to fix his/her connection. The only possible penalty for lag is to start from the rear of the field to avoid any first lap collisions.

TORA expects each and every competitor that attends at any of the championship meetings to behave and communicate in a respectable manner to every single competitor and steward. If you feel a comment may be offensive, hurtful, etc., then please don't say it at all. On the track, if you feel you gained a spot unfairly, then please give the spot back UNLESS the other driver(s) have either spun or crashed.

You may get only one block per straightaway per vehicle. Any second movements that get reported to the Stewards will most likely result in a lost of positions, depending on the effect of the second block. It is not considered blocking if the driver is getting prepared to enter a corner, which will give that driver the right to move to the appropriate side of the track to take the corner, if there is any sufficient room.

If at any moment of the race a driver goes off the track, please be very watchful when you see that driver joining the track. Depending on where the driver went off depends on the action everyone has to take. If the driver is rejoining the track at the exit of the corner, then that driver has to wait until all drivers pass by. If the driver is rejoining the track on a straightaway, then all oncoming cars must give the rejoining driver room to enter the track in a safe manner. Failure to comply to this will result in lost positions, depending on the severity.

All racing and passing must be made on the race track. If a part of a track gives you a dirty lap, you are not allowed to use that part of the track. If you use the run-off of the track to gain positions, then you may either be asked to give all spots back or lose positions at the end of the race if you fail to do so. You may use all the run-off you want if you are avoiding a wreck.

You have the option to be a team of two or a privateer entry.

CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Porsche Supercup will have the use of three championships. These championships are: Driver, Team, and Privateer.

DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship is simple and straight forward. All drivers are by themselves when earning these points. The points will be scored starting at 200 for first place and then subtract one point for every position down.

TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship is to determine the team with the most points at the end of the season. Both drivers will score points for their team. A team can only have two drivers.

PRIVATEER CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship will be run for drivers that decide to enter as privateers. Whichever driver is in that car for that race scores points for the privateer championship.

You may use as many reserve drivers as you would like. Reserve drivers will help you in only the team or privateer championships. Reserve drivers will score their own driver points. All reserve drivers must use the same number as the driver they are reserving. If you do sign in as a reserve driver, please mention it in either the sign in thread or in a PM to me on either here or on XBOX Live.

RACE DAY

QUALIFYING
All qualifying will take place before the race starts. Qualifying will be six laps long: one warm-up lap, four flying laps, and the final lap where all drivers must stop in Turn 1 so that the host can take down the times.

RACE
On race day, please be on 10-15 minutes before the start of the race so that the lobby host(s) can hand out the invites for the race.

Damage: Limited
Collisions: Always On

All races will start as a standing start. Race 1 will be based on qualifying results and Race 2 will be grid via Race 1 results. There will be a formation lap to set the grid in both races, as soon as all cars are in order on the grid, the pole position driver will call out what time the race will begin according to the race time ticker found on the upper right of the screen.
